Targeting Signaling Pathways in Solid Tumors Part A

I am a dynamic scientist with broad knowledge and research experience in cancer biology and cancer immunology. I am a highly skilled researcher with exceptional leadership and team-building capabilities. I have 10+ years of cancer research experience in academia as PhD student and Postdoctoral researcher. I have a track record of presenting and publishing scientific data in a timely and organized fashion as attested by my publication record of 12 published research articles with 6 as first-author. I am also a subject matter expert in preclinical cancer immunology as evidenced by my authored review articles with being co-corresponding author for one such review article. I have frequently peer-reviewed multiple articles for publication as peer-reviewer and guest editor. My Postdoctoral work focused on a novel immunosuppressive/protumor cancer cell expressing enzyme ART1’s discovery and further developing it as a therapeutic target in lung cancers and melanoma tumors utilizing murine in vivo models and patient samples. My doctoral research specialized in natural product-mediated (like curcumin) therapeutic intervention of cancers by modulating cancer cell signaling and cancer micro-environment immune system. My doctoral research also involved studying the mechanistic underpinning of cancer cell signaling & tumor microenvironment immunology for therapeutic targeting of brain tumors and cervical cancer models. As a skilled scientist with expertise in cancer biology, stem cell biology, and epigenetics, I am deeply passionate about advancing scientific knowledge. In my current postdoctoral role, I investigate the role of disease-relevant histone modifiers in shaping the epigenetic landscape of stem cells. My active involvement in multiple projects demonstrates my commitment to collaboration and leveraging collective knowledge to achieve impactful results. I have a track record of mentoring students and actively encouraging diversity in STEM, especially among women pursuing research careers. In my doctoral research, I contributed to understanding the anti-tumor potential of plant polyphenols in cervical cancer. I have published several research and review articles in cancer biology and stem cell epigenetics Through my multifaceted contributions over the course of over 10 years, I aim to inspire the next generation of scientists while leaving a lasting impact on scientific endeavors.
